For those who need to get into the VB swing, there's no need to pirate a copy of Visual Studio, all you need to do is use your already pirated version of Microsoft Office.
Just open up your favorite office app. and press Alt + F11
This'll pop up an exact replica of the Visual Basic Integrated Development Environment properly known as Visual Basic for Applications.
What can you do with this? Just about anything you can do with the standard Visual Basic short of compiling stand alone applications. As an added bonus, this new IDE gives you direct access to the Microsoft Office objects and functions (which is actually why it was designed) so you can start designing avanced office documents that go beyond the standard white papers or tabulated forms.
For those interested in getting into VB and just about to install a pirated copy on your machine, rest assured that it's already there.
